roaming_kate23The house I lived in until I was 12 my bedroom was off of the living room(where all of the Christmas gifts were!)
Every year-until my dad switched to Home Depot-we would go to the Boys And Girls’ Club to get our tree.My parents now have a fake tree which is better for any number of reasons(not least of which is that you don’t have to deal with watering it and dealing with pine needles.) My mom has a lot of the ornaments from when I was a kid-made them at school-orange and hot pink-not sure who thought those were Christmas-y colours!
Other traditions:Going through the Sears WishBook(remember that?) I think ours always was dog eared by the end of the season.
Going to my grandparents’ house in our VW van, and driving home in a car with marginally working heat and “Wonderful Christmastime” by Paul McCartney on the radio.
